POWDERLY'S ENEMIES TO COMBINE
All Over the Country in an Effort to Down
the Master Workman
AT THE MINNEAPOLIS CONVENTION.
The Movement Greatly Strengthened-The
Trouble With the Weavers.

CHICAGO, June At is rumored that a
secret meeting of the officers of local assem-
blles of the X. of l.. that are antaponistic
to Master Workman Powderly is to he held
in this city in the course of few days at
which steps will be taken toward concen.
trating the opposition in different parts of
the country for the purpose oflaying plans
OF operation at the next convention at Min.
neapolis next fall. The expulsion of Dis
trict Assembly 126, known ~ the John
Harrison carpet weavers' assembly, has
given considerable joy to the anti
Powderlyites, who recognize in the
tabOoed district great accession
OF strength. Communication has been
opened with officers OF this assembly, with
the Denver and Pacific Coast assemblies,
which already have manifested open hos
tility to the present administration, and
with numerous other districts and local
assemblies, which, although they have no.
publicly declared their position, are known
to be willing to join hands with any well
organized movement TO down" the present
officers at Philadelphia. 1t is hinted that
this combination is likely to take formida-
BILE dimensions; and that Powderly and the
Home Club are likely To DE confronted at
Minneapolis with an opposition much bet
ter organized and more powerful than that
with which they had TO contend at Rich
mOnd.

THE THREE LINKS.

Lodge matters in general have been very
quiet, but the visit of Triadelphia Lodge
No. 81 TO Nirginius Lodge No. ., on Thurs

est. About fifteen members came in
vehicles from Triadelphia and spent very
pleasant evening in the lodge room, and
among other pleasant incidents was the
presentation OF a handsome bouquet from
one of the young ladies of Triadelphia to
Past Grand Master Ellingham. Alter ad-
iOurnment of the Lodge the visitors were
entertained by some OF the brethren.

The Executive Board BoycOtts Union
Factory More Abuse for PowderIy.
NEW YORK, June Mot content with
eXpelling the members OF District Assem-
bly, l26 from the Knights of Labor, the
General Executive Board intends to make
another move against them.
1t has issued circular to all the district
and local assemblies in the order, signed
by John w. Hayes, Secretary of the Cen
eral Executive Board
The document is carefully wOrtled, so as
to avoid the word boycott" 1t reads
somewhat rs follows:
'The carpets made by Higgins & CO., of
New York, are of kind We cannot recon-
mend. You will please send committees
to dealers who sell carpets made by that
firm and tell them what you think about
the carpets, and that il they do not quit
selling them you will advise people to deal
elsewhere"
This order has fallen like bombshell in
the order, and in District Assemblies |, 20
and "a Of Philadelphia it has been very
vigorously tabled"
As soon aS the Secretary of a local as
senIbly in this city received the circular
yesterday he tclegraphed TO r. V. Powder
ly: "Have received Hayes Higgins in
famous circular. You had hetter with
draw boycott at once or I'll make trouble
for you"
Local assemblies that have had time to act
on the document have treated it with
ATnn,y nTf fb. nj. - Of nh har
say that the Executive Board are making Il
serious mistake.
John Morrison, Master Workman of Dis
trict l26, and over whom the trouble orig
mated, because of his withdrawing from
the Home Club OF 10 and exposing its
methods, was seen by reporter. He
said: 81 have known of the existence of
the circular almost since it was issued,
and its effect on the business of Higgins
& Co., is already discounted. 1t, how
ever, shows the hypOcricy of the
majority of the General Executive
Board. Powderly has denounced the boy
colt against labor organizations which ill.,
terfere with his chances of reelection. The
only thoroughly union carpet factory in
the United States is that of F. S. Higgins
x Co, in which are employed only union
hands, receiving the highest average wages,
and where the people are treated better
than in any other factory. At the same
time such firms us that of the Alexander
Smith Carpet Company, ofYonkers, which
deiies the X. of L., blacklists, evicts and
imprisOns members of the order, upon
which the General Assembly placed an
official boycott, is not interfered with by
the General Executive Board"

GERMAN OPTIMISM.
THE BERLIN PAPERS TALKING PEACE,
But Their Faith is Pinned to the Tottering
ROuvier Cabinet.
A GLADSTONE OVATION AT SWANSEA.
One Hundred Thousand Men Parade in His
Honor.

BERLIN, June 4.-Since the divisions in
the French Chambers have shown that the
Right intends 10 give solid vote for the
Moderates, the NORTH German Gazette, the
krcu= IcitWag and other government organs
are brimming over with articles rejoicing
in prospects of peace, and evince an OPP
timistic tone generally. The adyices from
the German embassy in Paris are of less
hopeful tenor now regarding the length OF
the existence of the Rouvier ministry, hut
no note of distrust in its stability is al
lowed TO be heard in the official press.
Ii is assumed that the spirit of Chauvin-
ism is for a long time at rest with the re-
tirement of Gen. Boulanger, and that
peace is assured for an equally long time
The leading motive of these pacific utter
ances, it is asserted, is not desire to cul-
tiyate relations with France, but to make
a resumption Of the entente with
Russia more easy. Prince Bismarck aims
to renew the alliance OF the three emper-
OTIS, and hopes to seal the entente by
specific treaty, which would make firm
understanding between Germany, Austria
and Russia, than existed under last al-
lance, ior which treaty, though drawn
up, WAS never signed.

Happy Homes.

Much has been written and said about
how 10 make home happy. The mOrallst
and the preacher have hackneyed tins
theme until it would seem nothing more
remained to be said. But the philosophers
have gone far OUT of their way 10 account
for the prevalence of ill-assorted couples
and unhappy homes, and have overlooked
the chief cause. Most OF the unhappiness
of married life can be traced directly to
those functional arrangements to which
women are subject In nine cases out OF
ten the irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy
wife is n sufferer from some female COM
plaint.' A trial of DR.. Pierce's Favorlte

sophical treatises. 1t cures all those pc

WILLIAM A. WHEELER DEAD.
He Passes Peacefully and Painlessly Away
AN Eventful Career

He Passes Peacefully and Painlessly Away
AN Eventful Career.
WATEn<swE. NY, June 4.-The Hon.
VIM. A. Wheeler died at his home in Ma
lone at 1910 O'Clock this morning.
lie remained in cOmatOse state during
the night, and passed peacefully away with
out q sign of recognition of those around
him.
For ten days Mr.. Wheeler had been con-
scious and rational only at intervals, and
for the past two or three days in stupOr
the greater part of the time, his malady
being sOfteRing of the brain.
Mr.. Wheeler had been slowly failing
through the past five or six years, until
last winter when the progress of the dis
ease became more rapid, and his physician
and friends began to fear the approach of
the end. On the night of March 3 he was
seized with chills, followed by a sinking
spell, and it was thought for hours that he
would die. lie aiterward rallied, however,
but never again regalned his former vig0r
and strength. Mental weakness gradually y
became apparent and increased until first
there were indications of insanity, and
finally of helplesSneSs and unconscious
ness.
William A. Wheeler was born in Frank
lin county, New York, June 3, 1919. He
received a common school education and
studied law. lie was elected to his first
Otlice--DistriCt Attorney Of his native
cOunty-by the Democrats. He was sub
and the Senate by the Wings, and in 1858
and 1859 was reelected 10 the Senate by
the Republicans.
In the fall of the latter year he was
elected to the Thirty Congress. In
1867 he was elected member of the New
York Constitutional Convention. The fall
after the adjournment of this convention
he was elected Congressman from the Sew
enteeth district. He was author of the
Louisiana Compromise, which brought a
measurable degree of prosperity on that
State in 1874. He was nominated for Vice
President OH the ticket with Rutherford
L. Hayes as President, at the Republican
convention held in Cincinnati, the nomi-
nation being made on Friday evening, jane
Ii, 1876.
The late Vice President was man of
very quiet manners and was very retiCient
i'll the House debates. He always selected
II seat well back in the hall, and before he
ever malc any move consulted with his
Republican colleagues. He would write
out his moves and, submit them to Gar
field, Kelly and the old Republican lead
ers before Offering them, and was always
noted for his caution.
He was one of the finest conversation
alists in the House and delighted to talk
to Il small circle, but never talked at ran
dom for the Record The wheeler Com
promise" by which the two rival State
Governments in Louisiana were reconciled
and reconstruction in the South hcstened,
made him very popular both in the North
and South.
His nomination for Vice President was
partly due to his reputation in this regard
so obtained. He had received one vote
for President all the way through the bal
loting at Cincinnati, and that one little
thin-vOiced vote penetrated through every
CreviCe OF the great hall and brought his
name and conservative reputation before
the convention.

Mr.. Louis Delaplain, who witnessed the
first two games at Sandusky, arrived at
Wheeling last night and wishes to correct
some false reports which have been cireu'
lated about town detrimental to Manager
English and himself He states that two
of Sandusky's best men approached them
and expressed their desire to join the
Wheeling team, and asked TO have their
release purchased. Mr.. Delaplaln
spoke to the Sandusky manage
ment and offered good price
for one of the men, but 1t was
refused. These are the facts in the case
and it will be seen that the SanduSky
paper was way of. Mr.. Delaplan wishes
i distinctly understood that there was no
underhand business and that the men were
